The Chicago Cubs have promoted veteran righty Shane Greene from Triple-A Iowa, it was announced Friday.
Greene, 34, will be added to the team as rosters expand to 28 for September. He has been working as a starter in the minors and could be on the mound for one of the team's doubleheader games against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
Greene appeared in two games last season, one for the Dodgers and one for the Yankees, and signed with the Cubs in late June.
He has a career 4.53 ERA over nine big league seasons, mostly playing for the Detroit Tigers and serving as their closer in 2018 and 2019 before being traded to the Atlanta Braves.
